Google maps - upgraded

I just found out that Google has updated their mapping software so that the user can not only search for a route, but can drag and modify the route as well, similar to the capabilities available on some of the shrink wrapped mapping software.

nice feature

I noticed the new feature on Google a couple weeks ago, and it seems to be a pretty nice feature. I can't think of another online option that makes it so easy to compare a few similar route options.

Its not perfect, and will plot some sections where you'd be doubling-back if your not careful. I've also had a few cases where the "pause point" has been inserted in a totally random place, causing for some really crazy results, and it took a few seconds of searching for the "delete this spot" feature to get ride of it.
